Dabesaki’s Niger Delta Advocacy project wins the RYC Innovative Project Award (RIPA)

The RYC Innovative Projects Award (RIPA) is an initiative which was borne out of a desire to promote, support and represent young people at all levels of decision-making, including a seat for the Pan-Commonwealth Youth Caucus Chair and a voice at the Ministerial table when Youth Ministers gather together for their periodic meetings.The programme seeks to encourage young people to develop innovative ideas that address a particular need in the community and the nation as a whole.

To strengthen the RYC initiative, the CYP RCA has periodically provided skills building opportunities to young people through training, internships, election monitoring and participation in youth development projects.
